McCain = Herbert Hoover

Today, McCain said:

"“The fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very difficult times,” he told supporters, “so I promise you: We will never put America in this position again. We will clean up Wall Street.”"

Later in the day McCain realized his misstep and tried to blame it on Obama. McCain said that by "fundamentals" he meant the American people. McCain thereby implied that Obama was insulting the American people. The real insulting going on, of course, was McCain insulting our intelligence with yet another lie.

McCain apparently thinks he has to outdo Bush's dirty tricks against McCain himself in 2000 to get himself elected. Even Karl Rove, Bush's king of dirty pool who eviscerated McCain in 2000, just said that McCain is being dishonest. (see prior link)

As markets open, let's hope we don't hear any more deluded words from Herbert John McCain Hoover.

I'm sorry, but McCain just doesn't get it. He lives in the world of the wealthy, how can he possibly know what it's like to be one of the hard working Middle Class, he just can't, he was NEVER part of it. It sickens me that he tries to blame it on Obama, what a full colostomy bag he is!

"Redefining what "fundamentals" were was so classic GOP. But the media isn't letting McCain get away with it. lol.
